Hi

I'm trying to recurse down my contexts thus

tell application "OmniFocus"
my onContexts(contexts of default document)
end tell

on onContexts(contextList)
repeat with aContext in contextList
my onContext(aContext)
end repeat
end onContexts

on onContext(aContext)
set contextName to name of aContext
set contextLocation to location of aContext
my onContexts(contexts of aContext)
end onContext

the contextLocation line fails with
get |location| of context id "djPQ_ENEbMN" of document id "mN0RuP1Pwwj"
"OmniFocus got an error: Can’t make |location| of context id \"djPQ_ENEbMN\" of document id \"mN0RuP1Pwwj\" into type specifier."

Can any AppleScript wizards shed any light? I have found examples of iterating over flat contexts, but not my nicely organized hierarchical structure.

Thanks in anticipation

Try this:

on onContext(aContext)
	using terms from application "OmniFocus"
		set contextName to name of aContext
		set contextLocation to location of aContext
		my onContexts(contexts of aContext)
	end using terms from
end onContext

The clue is that location wasn't showing up as a property but as a variable name. All objects have a name, so that line worked OK.

You're a star, does the business and I've learned a little more AppleScript, thanks.
